Mini Layered Crochet Box Stars

Sweet dreams..
basic pattern.click link
I did say there would be a pattern, but l've made everyone in a slightly different way so if you use the basic star pattern and be creative

BOX SIDES
When you have finished the star front.... 

SC in every stitch with no increase or decrease for 5 or more rows, 5 rows for the small ones 8 or 9 for the cushion size and 20 rows for a big, big star
crochet a similar size star for the back and SC it together or make a fabric star back
Black and white alternate stripes in SC works really well, but use any two colours that you like

LAYERED STARS
l have hundreds of little flower/motif experiments hanging around so l've layered some of the mini stars with these


The stars are suspended on strings that
are pulled up in the daytime and let down
at night.
